# I Want to Be Yours

_Track 1 on [I Want to Be Yours and Other Songs](https://havredegracemusic.com/music/i-want-to-be-yours-and-other-songs) by Havre De Grace, 4:26._

## Lyrics

```
I could be a singer
Living on the road
Meeting pretty women
Playing rock and roll
Or I could be a sailor
Say goodbye to shore
Horizon every morning
A girl in every port

I could be a writer
Be featured in the times
Or I could be a heistman
Infamous for my crimes
I could climb a mountain
Dive the ocean deep
Or I could rock you gently
As you drift away to sleep

Yes, I could be famous
That'd sure be a chore
I could belong to everybody, but
I want to be yours

I could make the A-list
Make money for my tunes
I'm sure that could make us happy
For a year or two
Yes, I could be somebody
But soon I'd be old news
I could give a bit to everybody
Or give it all to you

Yes, I could be famous
That'd sure be a chore
I could belong to everybody, but
I want to be yours

Yes, I could be famous
That'd sure be a chore
I could belong to everybody, but
I want to be yours

We could be together
And I couldn't ask for more
Everyone belongs to somebody, and
I want to be yours
```

## Writing

I was rocking and humming my 3-month-old son to sleep at 2am. When he finally passed out, I laid him between my legs and the line "yes I could be famous, that'd sure be a chore. I could belong to anybody but I want to be yours" popped into my head. Less than five minutes later, all of the words were written as they are now.

## Recording

This was the first song I intentionally recorded for the album. Everything else up to this point had been randomly recorded over the past few years. This was the real beginning of forming the album (hence the title).
